CSC 665: Online Learning and Multi-armed Bandits - Spring 2020

The structure is that the foundational topics are taught first and then move onto detailed/advanced topics with student presentations. The benefit is that we can ensure covering the core topics without being distracted towards the end of the semester, and students will learn the landscape of online learning early on. Also, for student presentations, we are forced to review the previously-learned topics, which might give us new perspectives now that we understand the landscape.
